It's as close to a normal job as I've ever had in terms of the working hours. We go in from 10 to 5, come out for a little bit, have dinner, and come back out for the evening shift. We worked Monday through Friday, and it was nice like that.

Generally I just go through my journals and think about what's going on at the time. There's never really an agenda, thematically, and I'd be lying if I said I had a hard goal. It's just what's there (in my journals) and where the music takes me. If anything, the five of us being at home and near the people that we loved (while recording the album) inspired me.

As much as I love being at home, I was there long enough to where I was getting a little antsy. I've never been happier to get on a bus.
